Darling Diva Polish.. 3 from the holiday collection

Happy Monday Everyone!!  I'm really excited about today's post!  I have three brand new holiday polishes from Darling Diva Polish!  Each of these polishes was inspired by the classic movie, A Christmas Story.  I've only seen this movie once a few years ago, so I'm not really familiar with the names of these polishes, but they are gorgeous!!!

Soap...Poisoning:

Soap...Poisoning has pastel pink and yellow flake-like glitter in a shimmery milky white base.  It reminds me a bit of China Glaze's Snowglobe with a creamy jelly base.  I have two layers of Soap...Poisoning over OPI Alpine Snow.  It really does remind me of soap and I love pink and yellow together, so this polish gets two thumbs up from me!!

Unbridled Avarice:

Unbridled Avarice has such a gorgeous combination of glitter!!  It contains green, violet, and fuchsia small hex glitters in a clear base.  I chose to layer Unbridled Avarice (one coat) over Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Blizzard Blue followed by topcoat.  Unbridled Avarice could be worn alone with two or three coats.. it's so versatile, almost any colored base would work well also.

Crooked Star:

When I first saw Crooked Star, I was kinda like: "Ugh.. bar glitter"...but after I chose my base (Nails Inc. Kensington) and saw just how beautiful Crooked Star actually is, I fell in love with it!   Crooked Star contains a zillion different colors of bar glitter, some random golden stars, and holo shimmer that's breathtaking when you catch it in just the right light!!  Crooked Star is perfect for the holidays!! I love it!!

**Carrie at Darling Diva creates gorgeous polishes!!  I featured Bazinga in this post I did of some untried indies and it remains one of my favorite polishes!!  Each of these polishes is unique and contains excellent formulas!!  You can purchase Darling Diva Polishes here on Etsy.  The polishes from this collection aren't up now, but I'm sure they will be soon.  Like Darling Diva on facebook here to keep up with new news and shop updates**

Some Untried Indies...

Hey Everyone!!  Hope you all had a great weekend.  I was busy swatching yesterday (and listening to my husband swear at The Brown's Game on TV)..  I have so many Indies I haven't even tried yet, so I grabbed the first six that caught my eye.  Here they are...

HARE Polish Rad Cloud:

This is my first HARE Polish.  I've been wanting one since I first saw them like a year ago, but they weren't available for the longest time.  I finally got my hands on Rad Cloud and I really like it.  Pictured above is two coats of Rad Cloud over OPI Steady As She Rose.  I love the milky sheer pink base and the glitter combo is perfect (especially the squares!!)

Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger:

Toxic Avenger is another polish I've been holding on to for a long time because it's now hard to find.  Dollish Polish was another one of my first Indie purchases.  Toxic Avenger is a gorgeous multi-chrome holo.  This one looked different each time I looked at my nails.  The above pic is two coats in natural light...you can see the holo-goodness in direct sun (which we didn't have)  Love it!

Enchanted Polish Dizzy Mizz Lizzy:

Dizzy Mizz Lizzy has a coppery/red jelly base packed with micro holo glitter along with tons of other colors and shapes of glitter.  I like the formula a lot with this one, just not a big fan of coppers.  Pictured above is two coats of Dizzy Mizz Lizzy.

Oopsie Daisies Banana Split:

I just love this one.. it's the perfect representation of a banana split!!  I recently came across Oopsie Daisies Etsy store and knew I wanted Banana Split right away.  It has a gorgeous creamy banana-y base with pink, black and white glitters.  Pictured above is three coats with topcoat.

Darling Diva Polish Bazinga!

Ok, so I guess my new thing is creamy bases with square glitter... I'm just drawn to them lately.  Bazinga! by Darling Diva Polish is amazing!!  I love everything about it.. the formula, the glitter combo, the color, the base etc..  Pictured above is three coats followed by a fast-dry topcoat.

Nerd Lacquer Pinin' For The Fjords:

Pinin' For The Fjords has a beautiful lilac base.  I've seen this one swatched mostly over a solid base color, but I chose to wear it on it's own.  Pictured above is three coats followed by a thick coat of topcoat.  It's the perfect mix of silver, indigo, and aqua glitters.  I've been keeping my Nerd Lacquers hidden in my helmer because they are so hard to find, but decided to pull this one out for a pretty mani. :)

Darling Diva Polish Casey

Pink Wednesday!!  Yay!!  I have yet another Indie Polish to show you.  It's called Casey by Darling Diva Polish..

Darling Diva Polish Casey:

Casey has a pretty pink base and is packed full of holo micro glitter, along with blue, green and holo medium hex glitter.  There is scattered light and dark pink flower-shaped glitter also.  Pictured is three coats of Casey, a coat of Gelous, followed by a coat of CG Fast Forward topcoat.  I had a slight problem getting the flower glitter to lay flat, but overall, the formula was pretty easy to work with. Casey is such a fun color.. it's so girly!

*You can purchase Casey and other Darling Diva Polishes here at their Etsy shop.  The shop is currently open and has some beautiful shades, so hurry over now!! (I'm such an enabler ;)*
